Oscar Peterson, Herb Ellis, and Ray Brown, along with Johnson, accompany Ella on the last song, a swingin Stompin at the Savoy .
Peterson, Ellis and Brown, along with drummer Jo Jones back Ella on the bonus tracks, which consist of Ella s set from a 1956 Jazz at the Philharmonic concert in Seattle.
